Tips for Best Results

  • Include dimensions — "24×24 garage" works better than "garage"
  • Specify materials — "metal roofing" or "cedar siding" for accurate pricing
  • List doors and windows — "2 garage doors, 1 entry door, 4 windows"
  • Mention ceiling height — important for accurate wall area and stud count
  • Upload plans or blueprints — for complex projects, uploading a document improves extraction
